Things to look at: - folding the tick and these TICK_NSEC timers - separate task context rotation Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: paulus Cc: stephane eranian Cc: Robert Richter Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Lin Ming Cc: Yanmin LKML-Reference: Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
